Love potion number nine

Love potion no. 9

I dived into a cauldron of magic potion 
And thought I would never survive
But here I am to tell the tale 
Of how I’m still alive
I saw a chance and dived right in
I didn’t do my diligence 
But soon found out it’s sink or swim
I should have used  my commonsense 
I tried to swim against the tide
But the effort was all mine
She didn’t even try to hide
Her scorn for potion number nine
Our potion turned out to be 
A blending of the poison kind
I’m so lucky to be free
Her body they’ll never find.
